Alvin Lawrence Gordon (April 21, 1923 – May 23, 2012) was an American television comedy writer.
He served in the Air Corps during World War II and was stationed in The Azores, where he pitched jokes to a troupe of writers stranded on the island.
Post-War, these writers invited him to move to Los Angeles, where he began his comedy career in earnest.
With partner Hal Goldman, he co-ran the radio show when Benny transitioned to television.
Gordon, along with Goldman and the other Benny writers, received both the 1959 and 1960 Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series.
